Abstract
A metal-free visible-light-promoted oxidative coupling between thiols and arylhydrazines provides diaryl sulfides in good yields using a catalytic amount of rose bengal as photocatalyst under aerobic conditions at room temperature. This methodology is also applicable to benzo[d]thiazole-2-thiols, benzo[d]oxazole-2-thiol, 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-thiols, and 1H-imidazole-2-thiol.
